THEIR GRIEVANCES.

The Third and Eourth.Clsss P0stmasters
Airing Their Grievances IN Convention
etthe Nat onal Capital-lIatlical Reforms
Wanted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1A-The convention
Of third and fourth.class postmasters, who
want increased compensation for their
services opened here yesterday. About
three hundred of them, from every section
Of the country, were in attendance. Their
grievances. briefly stated, 10 this: Tie
fourth. class postmasters think that q
salary based upon the receipts Of the
Offices, As at present, Is inadequate, while
the postmasters of the third. class favor
some action by Congress which will
authorize the Government to provide them
with Offices properly equipped instead OF
having such expenses deducted from the
salary Of the postmaster as at present.
The convention was called to order by
J. H. Patterson. the chairman Of the Ma.
tional executive committee, and soon
afterwards organized permanently by the
selection of Mr.. Robert White, OF Michi.
gan. as president, and Thomas ]. Brady.
J. G. Hersog. Of Ohio. and F. A. Winchell,
Of Iowa. as secretaries.
A number of working committees were
appointed. after which Mr.. J. H. Fulmer,
of Pennsylvania, read Q statement which
cited typical case OF postmasters OF the
third class, which he said IL.
lustrated the conditions which the
entire class desired now to have
remedied. In the case cited this salary Of
the postmaster was $3.50 per year, and
out Of this be paid Office rent, salary Of
assistant, fuel and other expenses, leav.
ing for the postmaster $372 for his annual
salary. He said the box rents should go
to the postmaster unless the Government
furnished the outfit of the office. He said
in his own case the outfit of his office cost
him 500, while the box rents. which the
Government now takes, amounts to near
Nv $40 per year. This paper was re-
ferred to the committee on bills.
Mr.. Patterson called attention to the
abuse Of the regulation admitting news
paper mail matter to tbs second-class by
which it was estimated that twenty. five
tons were yearly sent through the mails.
He said that papers which were merely
advertising agencies for some patent
medicine or some similar article obtained
admission to the mails as second-class
matter by merely inserting paragraph
or two of news matter. He said that
something should be done to prevent the
abuse of the mailing regulations. and he
suggested that committee of five be ap-
pointed to cons der this matter.
Other delegates spoke in the same vein,
and after discussion the motion was
adopted and the committee was ap.
pointed.
The convention after getting fairly
organized and ready for work adjourned

reports of the committees will be read.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


4 Phen00enoo which, la 1loay Cases, = .
Pu1sle to Observer.
The cause Of phosphOrescent light,
rs well rs its nature. is, in many cases.
= puzzle alike to the common and the
scientific observer. This light comes
from very different sources. The APP
pearance of any fish that is partially
decayed gives the most common exam
pie. In the case of such decay. the
light may be attributed to the phos-
phorus set free. But the same name
is given to the light emitted by the
glow-worm or the FREELY. In this case
there is no such decomposition of ele-
ments. The phosphorescence of the
sea is referred to the presence of
minute mcdus@-creatrres of the SIM
plest organism. There are some
species of fungus that are producers of
light. In these instances it seems to
be a result of the functions Of life,
rather than phenomenon accompany
ing death.
This light is given off in some in
stances where the decay does not seem
likely to liberate any phosphorus. and
where. if any fungus is growing, it
can not be detected easily. A Scotch
writer. Mr.. w. A. Smith. tells how he
was surprised at the appearance Of a
piece of fir wood. In this country a
decaying maple log, lying in a wet
place. yields the best results. toti
During our walk through the woods
the other evening we came upon what
appeared to be q salt herring lying in
the road. On turning it over with our
feet it seemed sloppy. and we foolishly
passed it. A few yards farther on an
other brilliant streak of light attracted
our attention, and we this time decided
to attempt its capture. A piece of
paper was employed. to prevent an I'M
pleasant meeting, and we then lifted,
most circumsp ectly. what proved to be
neither more nor less than piece of
Scotch fir from one of the fallen trees
alongside. Apparently a new break
was the phOsphorcscent surface, and
the night being wet as well as dark,
we suppose this had some influence.
After drying it next day we again tried
it in the dark, and it still showed bril-
liantly: SO the wet had naught to do
with it. Under lens no fungus could
be seen, only the rough broken fibers
on the surface. YOUTHS Companion.

A BULL At LARGE.

In conversation with the claim agent
of one of the large Western roads he
gave me few illustrations of the COM
plicatcd nature of some claims that
are presented. The following was one
Of them: IA train-load of Texas cattle
had stopped at point in Illinois in Or

up some of the animals that were
down. 1t frequently occurs that one
or two in car will get down and the
others tramp on them, and for this
reason. as we'll as to look after gene

are always sent in charge of a train

Jump out, and at once started on a
foraging trip across the country. The
men. after an exciting chase, succeed
ed in recapturing him. but as there
was no way to get him back into the
car again he was left in charge of the
station agent. and the train went on to
Chicago. During the night, however.
Mr.. Taurus became FESTIVE, and
felt as though o change of scene would
do him good, SO with few we!l-di-
rccted blows he knocked down Sec
ton of the fence that imprisoned him
and took a southwesterly course-for
Texas. presumably. He was appar.
emily feeling sociable. for upon meet
ing a farmers horse he insisted upon
the steed taking a couple of horns,'
from the effects of which the animal
died. Good temperance moral there.
Don't you forget it. About the first
thing the farmer did on the following
morning was to send in claim upon
us for the horse, and also for damage
done to the fences, and judging from
the size of the damage claim that old
bull must have put in the whole night
battering down fences" "What be-
came of the bullp" asked. "Well,
that l don't know-that has nothing to
do with this claim; but as l have not
rs yet seen any thing of o claim for

again and in all probability his Of
tence-ive career was cut short" If /
had known that he had that horrible
pun ready to spring should not have
asked the question.-Chicago Journal.
